5 of My Favorite Fics Outside of My OTP

[untitleddemo.livejournal.com]

Okay, I have to admit that I rarely step out of my Spuffy cave, but these are 5 fics that made me leave Spuffy at the door. They are all slash or femmeslash. I want to give a whole lotta hugs and kisses to these authors who created such gorgeous fics that made me want to get up out of my seat and do The Dance of Slash.



Item Title or Description: Could Times Infinity Plus One
Creator’s Name: doyle_sb4
Rating: R
Warnings: Mild girl-on-girl action
Pairing: Fred/Anya
Link: http://www.livejournal.com/users/doyle_sb4/399389.html
Summery: Anya wants what she can't have. Fred might not exist.
Why I chose this: I actually just found this through a rec from this comm by lillianmorgan, and it really blew me away. It's something very unique and unlike anything I've read before. Funny, quirky, and romantic.

Item Title or Description: Honour
Creator’s Name: incasink
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: m/m sex, WIP, umm... is Spike having sex with Ethan Rayne a warning?
Pairing: Spike/Angel, Spike/other
Link: http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=incasink&keyword=Honour&filter=all Note: At this date, only 4 chapters are up in her memories. If you check her lj you will find that she has up to chapter 8 completed.
Summary: Angel is an assassin, Spike is the rentboy he falls for.
Why I chose this: This is such an intriguing fic. Angel is so emotionally closed off, and Spike is the only one who can get to him. Really lovely characterization of the two, and an especially bitter Spike makes this one both fun and painful.

Item Title or Description: Point of Reference
Creator’s Name: karabair
Rating: R
Warnings: Mild girl-on-girl action
Pairing: Fred/Lilah
Link: http://www.livejournal.com/users/karabair/368517.html#cutid1Honour
Summary: Lilah likes books, but she hates libraries. Meeting Fred Burkle might ease the pain a bit.
Why I chose this: This ficlet is such delicious fun! Her Fred and Lilah voices are so spot on, that this fic leaves me convinced that this interlude between the two actually happened. Really, really enjoyable read.

Item Title or Description: Coming Ashore
Creator’s Name: lillianmorgan
Rating: R
Warnings: Mild m/m action
Pairing: Spike/Xander
Link: http://www.livejournal.com/community/fall_for_sx/85676.html
Summary: Rather than ships passing in the night, it’s like they’re both at sea and just trying to learn how to float.
Why I chose this: This is such a lovely story, both touching and humorous at the same time. It flitters back and forth between BtVS season four, and post AtS Not Fade Away. Really fun moments of banter between the two, combined with poignant moments of hesitancy and indecision. Loved this.

Item Title or Description: Bent Justice
Creator’s Name: toobusy2write
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Non consensual sex, violence, m/m sex, m/f sex
Pairing: Spike/Angel and various other minor pairings
Link: http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=toobusy2write&keyword=Bent+Justice&filter=all
Summary: Spike is an undercover agent sent into prison to bust a corrupt warden, but when he takes on Angel—the convict that runs D Block through strength and fear—in order to prove himself, Spike uncovers more than he bargained for.
Why I chose this: Umm... I think everyone and their mother has read this fic, but it's just that good! It's 52 chapters long, but I read it in only two sittings. Highly addictive. She also throws in loads of Jossverse characters, and it's neato to see how they all fit so perfectly into the fic. This one is a must read.

Again, my huge thanks to all of these authors for all of the time, thought, and effort that they so lovingly put into these fics. Mwah!
